Which College? Brandeis vs Syracuse vs LMU

Respectfully, Syracuse is the best option if you are serious about IB due to it's proximity to NY. I haven't heard of IB recruits from Brandeis but you may have some luck for regional consulting firms as there are many in MA. LMU is a well-known school due to it's location but I doubt that would be significant for NY/NE recruiting as it's not a target.

My take is Syracruse has placements, is closer, good brand name. This is the safest option. I would eliminate Brandeis unless there's something very specific (e.g. you're Jewish) that you couldn't get anywhere else. LMU is in a good location but you'd have to research their placement rates. There's plenty of regional firms & other niche opportunities on the west coast which you may want to check out.

I would visit both campuses & see which school you like/fit in with just in case you change your mind about your career. Also, idk if LMU is Jesuit but many Jesuit/Catholic colleges have strong alumni networks.

Syracuse is the strongest contender here unless you are open to more options on the WC. The WC weather is also a huge +. Cost is the last factor. If you're dead set on transferring, choose the cheapest. GL!
